Where is the best place to install your new coffee machine in your office ?

After many comparisons, crunching the numbers, and examining it from every angle, you have chosen the perfect commercial coffee machine to take your team’s coffee breaks to the next level. More eco-friendly, more economical, and capable of producing delicious coffee to cater to everyone’s taste, it’s the best solution for your business. One tricky question remains: where should you set up your new commercial coffee machine?

A meeting room, an open space, a break room or a corridor?

To choose the best space to place your new coffee machine, you should keep these three things in mind :

Commercial coffee machine : prerequisites and technical constraints  

When choosing a location for your commercial coffee machine, you should first assess the technical requirements. This is because you cannot simply choose any location. However, the technical requirements depend on the type of coffee machine you select.

Technical constraints  

Before deciding where to install your coffee machine, keep these points in mind :

✅ Electrical connection: No matter which coffee maker you choose, you’ll need an electrical outlet located within 1 meter of where you plan to place it. If you’ve chosen a machine with a built-in water tank, then that’s all you need!

✅Connection to the water supply: If the machine needs to be connected to the water supply since it does not have a built-in tank, check whether it is possible to connect the machine to the drinking water supply. 

✅ Connection to a drain: Most machines come with a drip tray. However, to avoid having to empty it by hand on a regular basis, check whether it’s possible to connect your coffee machine to a drain.

✅ Internet connection: If your coffee machine is equipped with a payment terminal (such as a credit card reader), it must be connected to the Ethernet network using an RJ45 Ethernet cable. Alternatively, you can add a router with a cellular SIM card to connect the module to the network.

✅ Space around the coffee machine: think “practical” ! Be sure to leave enough room around the machine for tasks such as filling the hopper with coffee beans.

💡If you already have a water dispenser connected to the water supply, take this opportunity to set up your new office coffee machine next to it!

Essentials to keep near your coffee machine

When choosing where to place your coffee machine, make sure to leave enough space and storage for the items you’ll need to use it.

✅ Sink and dishwasher: if you plan to install the coffee machine in a break room or dining area, make sure there is a sink and/or dishwasher nearby for washing cups.

✅ Recycling : to prevent trash from lying around, set up a recycling bin where you can dispose of items like sugar packets and paper cups.

✅ Cabinet space : make sure you have storage space for your supplies and beverages (coffee beans, fresh milk, chocolate powder, tea bags, etc.). Ideally, the storage areas should be located near the machine but out of sight.

✅ Storage for mugs and cups: ensure space for employees’ mugs and/or paper (or compostable) cups right next to the coffee machine. They should be easily accessible to users. However, if you opt for a coffee vending machine, keep in mind that these machines dispense cups when they don’t detect a mug. In this specific case, there is no need to provide a designated spot for cups.

✅ Coffee machine stand: make sure you have a countertop or cabinet to place it on. Ideally, you should install a cabinet specifically designed with a door and built-in storage compartments.

✅ Coffee grounds container: To prevent messes and make the most of your organic waste, you can set up a coffee grounds container. This is a dedicated bin where you can dispose of your coffee grounds. Some models feature designs that blend seamlessly into your space! At Pleyce, we offer cardboard collection bins and we collect your coffee grounds to give them a second life!

✅ Milk fridge : if your coffee machine offers milk-based drinks, consider getting a milk cooler to store it.

✅ Water dispenser : a water dispenser is a must-have for your offices. In fact, it has become mandatory to provide a hydration solution for your teams. Water dispensers and coffee machines make the perfect pair in break rooms, cafeterias, or even in your reception areas !

Commercial coffee machines : who is using it ? 

Once you’ve identified potential locations based on technical and space constraints, you need to consider the intended purpose of the machine or coffee vending machine.

👉 Here are some key questions to ask yourself when choosing the best possible location for your coffee machine?

✅ Coffee machine use : who are the “target” users of the coffee machine? Who are you installing it for? Do you plan to make the coffee machine available exclusively to employees? How many employees does your company have? Do you want the coffee machine to be accessible to everyone—employees, suppliers, and customers? Or just visitors? These question are important for determining the best location.

✅ Machine accessibility : do you need to accommodate people with limited mobility? It’s best to set up the coffee machine in an easily accessible location. This will make your coffee breaks more inclusive.

✅ Free or paid coffee : will you offer the coffee for free, or do you plan to charge for it? If the coffee is free, you may want to reserve it just for your staff. If, on the other hand, you plan to sell the coffee, consider placing the machine in a high-traffic area that’s accessible to as many people as possible to boost your revenue! Make sure you can set up one or more payment options on the machine.

✅ Types of coffee machine : your coffee machine model will partly determine the possible locations. For example:

Where best suis your coffee machine?

In open spaces

😀 Target audience : employees

Søren – Commercial bean-to-cup coffee machine
👍 The advantages of installing a coffee machine in an open space : 👎 The inconveniences of installing a coffee machine in an open space :
Machine accessibility : equipped with wheels you don’t even have to get out of your office chair to reach the machine, it’s right there at your fingertips.

Don’t need to interrupt your work : a coffee machine installed in an open space is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee right at your desk.
Noise: a machine makes noises that can be distracting when you’re trying to focus on a project! Especially if it’s running all day long. In that case, opt for an ultra-quiet coffee machine;

Risk of overconsumption : having a coffee machine right at your fingertips can be irresistibly tempting. Watch out for overconsumption!

Lack of proper coffee break : The coffee machine in an open-plan office doesn’t encourage conversation or a friendly atmosphere. People simply make their coffee and then return to their desks.

😀 Target users :primarily employees (and possibly customers and partners who come to your office for an appointment).

Ambiance Kobe Machine à café à grains pour entreprise
Kobe – Commercial bean-to-cup coffee machine
👍The advantages of putting a coffee machine in a break room : 👎 Incontinences of putting a coffee machine in a break room :
A welcoming atmosphere: The break room is the perfect place for a coffee machine or vending machine. It’s an ideal setting for sharing a cup of coffee with colleagues, managers, and visitors (clients, suppliers, etc.)

Convenience : provided the break room is equipped with a small kitchen, employees have access to various amenities (sink, refrigerator, microwave, etc.)

No disturbances: a break room is usually separated from the offices, so that people don’t disturb each other during coffee breaks.
Requires taking a break: to get to the coffee machine, you have to get up from your chair (tough!) and take a short break. You often run into coworkers there, which leads to conversations. That’s not ideal when you just want a quick cup of coffee and get back to work.

Corridors

😀 Target users :primarily employees (and possibly customers and partners who come to your office for an appointment).

👍 Advantages of placing a coffee machine in a corridor:

  • Machine accessibility :a coffee machine in the hallway is perfect for letting everyone help themselves. As you walk by on your way out of a meeting, why not grab a cup of coffee before heading back to your desk.
  • Not necessary to take a full break : the machine is on its way to your desk, you can decide to stop by for a chat with a colleague or just keep going!

👎 The inconveniences of placing a coffee machine in a corridor :

  • Lack of a welcoming atmosphere and privacy: even if you feel like having a quick chat by the coffee machine, the hallway is rarely the best place to open up or discuss work-related topics
  • Risk of disruption: if several people gather around a coffee machine or vending machine located in a high-traffic area, watch out for congestion!
  • Noise distraction: if the machine is placed near a meeting room or office, the noise it makes may disturb those inside. The same goes for any conversations taking place there.

👍 The advantages of installing a coffee machine in a meeting room :

  • No need to take a break: the coffee machine in the meeting room lets you enjoy a cup of coffee while you work. This way, you don’t have to interrupt the meeting to go get a coffee in another room
  • Convenience and privacy: Having a coffee machine in the meeting room makes the space feel more welcoming and encourages more relaxed conversations. You can discuss confidential matters over a cup of coffee without worrying about others hearing
  • No disturbances: The meeting room is separated from the offices, and the door is usually kept closed, so there are no disturbances for other employees.

👎 The inconveniences of installing a coffee machine in a meeting room :

  • Lack of accessibility: except for people in meetings, no one else can use the coffee machine. The coffee machine is effectively off-limits during meetings
  • Noise produced: The sound of a coffee machine brewing during a meeting can be distracting for some people.

👎 The inconveniences of installing a coffee machine near the entrance :  

  • Lack of accessibility for employees: If you want your employees to be able to use the coffee machine, don’t place it in the lobby. In fact, apart from the team responsible for greeting visitors, employees only pass through the lobby in the morning and evening but don’t linger there.

Buy, rent, or pay per cup for your coffee machine : which option works best for your workplace?

Coffee breaks are an important part of the day at the office. With that in mind, implementing a solution that will allow your teams to gather around the office coffee machine is essential. However, you might be unsure about which option to choose: buying, renting or paying per cup. The difference between the three is not always clear. 

 

👉Owner, renter or holder of a professional coffee machine : what are the advantages and inconveniences of each? 

The choice that best works for you depends on a number of factors such as:

Buying a coffee machine: you are the owner

Own your company’s coffee machine: what factors should you consider when choosing a plan?

The advantages of buying a coffee machine

The biggest advantage: you are the owner !

In the long run, buying your coffee machine is the most economical. The initial investment pays off itself (especially, if you charge for the coffee.)

As the owner of your coffee machine, you don’t sign a contract with a service provider. Without a contract, there’s no commitment. You remain free to choose your coffee and other supplies (sugar, cups, etc.): you can source them wherever you want. In fact, for excellent coffee at the office, we recommend choosing locally and artisanale roasted coffee beans: Our coffee beans

You have complete control over managing your commercial coffee machine: upkeep and maintenance are entirely up to you. Here’s a tip: why not get your team involved in maintaining the machine—perhaps in exchange for free coffee?

Don’t worry, if your team isn’t exactly eager to take care of the machine, and neither are you (maintenance is a lot of work!): Pleyce offers an on-demand maintenance contract for your coffee machine at the time of purchase. We won’t leave you stranded, that’s just not our style!

Recap of advantages : 

The inconveniences of buying a coffee machine

Purchasing a commercial coffee machine has its pros and cons. First, while it is the most cost-effective option in the long run, it requires the necessary cash on hand to purchase the machine or coffee dispenser. Some bean-to-cup coffee machines come with a high purchase price.

Buying your own coffee machine requires understanding your needs, specifically in terms of volume to choose the most suitable machine. Your choice should factor in your future growth plans: an upcoming move, an expansion of your spaces, or changes in your payroll. A coffee machine model can quickly become outdated if your coffee needs change and/or if the initial estimate was inaccurate. In that case, your only option will be to replace it at your own expense.

We highlighted the advantage of having full control over how you manage your machine and choose your coffee. These advantages can turn into disadvantage if you don’t want to handle it yourself (then you’ll need to sign up for a maintenance contract, which incurs additional costs.) Furthermore, the maintenance contract offered when purchasing a coffee machine does not cover the cost of replacement parts. Therefore, if a part of the machine breaks after the initial warranty period, its replacement is not included in this type of contract.

Renting a coffee machine: customizable and adaptable

Renting a commercial coffee machine: What factors should you consider when choosing a plan?

The advantages of renting a coffee machine

While purchasing may be the most cost-effective option in the long run, renting a commercial coffee machine is cheaper in the short term. There is no uncertainty regarding depreciation, since renting does not constitute an investment. You also do not need to have significant cash on hand to commit to it immediately. It is also possible to install a coin mechanism to make the coffee fully or partially paid for, helping in financing the rental of the machine.

Renting a commercial coffee machine is a customized solution that can be scaled to meet your needs. Is your business growing, are you hiring new staff, and do you need to upgrade to a larger machine or even a vending machine? No problem, you can change the coffee machine in your rental contract at any time. You won’t be stuck with an outdated coffee machine. Enjoy state-of-the-art machines that are always tailored to your needs and tastes!

The rental includes machine maintenance, so you don’t have to worry about any maintenance, servicing, or logistics. When you rent a commercial coffee machine, all you have to do is enjoy your cup of coffee. Your service provider takes care of everything else.

Your service provider is responsible for disposing of the coffee machine at the end of its life, since the equipment is leased for a fixed period.

The best part? Some providers, like Pleyce, let you test out several models of professional coffee machines available for rent. This allows you to choose the best one!

Recap of advantages: 

The inconveniences of renting a commercial coffee machine

In the long run, renting a commercial coffee machine is less cost-effective than buying one.

Youu shouldn’t be afraid of commitment, because “rental” means “contract”! In fact, you’re committing to a long-term arrangement with a coffee machine provider. To minimize the implications of this commitment, at Pleyce, we determine the contract duration with you, rather than relying on standard offers. The flexibility of our offers ensures that you retain control over your decisions.

Paying per cup : deposit system

The benefits of paying for just what you consume: what factors should you consider when choosing this option?

The advantages of paying per cup

A system in which you pay-per-cup means that your service provider provides a coffee machine or coffee dispenser to your business at no cost, and in return you pay only for the coffee you consume: there’s no need to invest in purchasing a coffee machine or pay a monthly rental fee.

Even without renting the machine or signing a maintenance contract upon purchase, you still benefit from all services related to machine management. The service provider handles delivery, installation, and setup, as well as the supply of coffee and other consumables (filters, cups, sugar, etc.), along with routine maintenance and repairs.

This way you have a coffee machine to keep your employees happy at no cost and with no management hassle.

Recap of advantages : 

The inconveniences of paying per cup

A free coffee machine that gives you access to all management services? Yes! But this option does come with a few drawbacks.

The machine is provided free of charge, but in return, the service provider sets the prices and keeps the profits. Whereas, when renting or purchasing a machine, a company that charges consumers for coffee can collect those payments, this is not the case with this system. All payments are collected in full by the service provider in exchange for providing the machine.

The free installation option is only worthwhile for service providers if the company has a certain number of employees, in order to ensure a sufficient level of sales. Below a certain break-even point, it doesn’t make much sense to choose this option. Installing a free coffee machine is best suited for companies with more than 40 employees.

When renting a coffee machine or vending machine, since the prices are set by the provider, you have no room to negotiate, and these rates are generally quite high. Finally, pay-as-you-go pricing can put a strain on your finances if prices rise.

Coffee payment systems for office machines: which option is best for your workplace?

👉You have decided to implement a system to pay for coffee at your company ?

If one of the two scenarios above apply to you, the guide below will help you find your answers !

Selling hot drinks like coffee and teas allows companies to generate extra revenue, specifically for:

With that being said, it’s now time to consider the payment systems you’ll be implementing. Since consumers are carrying less and less cas, there are new, innovative, and cashless alternatives to traditional coin-operated coffee machines.

What payment systems should you implement for your office coffee machine?

Coffee at work : free or paid ?

Before we show you to the various payment systems available, ask yourself whether it makes sense to install a system on your coffee machine. What are your goals?

Employees see offering free coffee at work is an office perk. You can offer your employees a much-appreciated benefit at a lower cost, since providing free, unlimited coffee to all employees costs about €9 per month per employee (for high-quality coffee beans).

If your company has few employees, it may be more cost-effective to provide them with coffee than to set up a payment system, which involves additional costs (purchase, management, maintenance of the payment system, etc.).

What types of payment methods for a commercial coffee machine ? 

Other than traditional coin-operated machines, other payment methods exists for commercial coffee machines.

Discover below the different payment systems available for office coffee machines. Pleyce offers them all!

Payment by cash

machine à café avec monnayeur

A coin slot is a system that handles cash on it’s own: counting change, dispensing it, and storing it. Many vending machines are already equipped with them, and it is possible to install a coin slot in certain other office coffee machines.

✅ Advantages of a cash system

❌ Inconvenience of cash system  

Payment by card (contactless)

Pleyce machine à café de bureau avec monnayeur Elin

Sometimes you want a cup of coffee, but don’t have cash on you. Give your employees the ability to pay for their drinks by card instead. Contactless payments is an even faster option, allowing for the possibility to also pay by smartphones.

✅Advantages of card payment (contactless)

❌ Inconveniences of card payments

Payment by company badge or prepaid cards

machine à café paiement par badge ou carte

You can give your employees the option to pay for their coffee using their company ID card or a prepaid card. All they need to do is load the desired amount onto their ID card or prepaid card at the designated terminals. When they then order a coffee from the machine, the cost of the drink is deducted from their balance.

Payment by badge works using an RFID chip, which comes in many different forms: badges, cards, wristbands, or even keychains.

Various top-up methods are available, such as: via a cash register, through software, or directly on the machine if it is equipped with a coin system or a credit card terminal. It is also possible to offer deferred payment.

✅ Advantages of payments by company badge or prepaid card

❌ Inconveniences of payments by company badge or prepaid card

Payment by smartphone or smartwatches

machine à café paiement par smartphone ou montre connectée 

Banking information is stored on the smartphone’s SIM card and can be read by the payment terminal. All you have to do is hold your phone near the payment terminal using the NFC reader to make a payment.

Managing this payment option is simple as the process is quite similar to contactless credit card payments, since the payment terminal is the same. Don’t miss out on this payment solution, which can be convenient for customers—they only need their smartphone, ring (yes, those exist now), or smartwatch to pay for their coffee!

 💡 Who knows, maybe one day, you might even be able to pay with your finger! That’s right—it’s no longer just the stuff of science fiction. Manufacturers are starting to produce biometric payment terminals for a completely contactless experience. For those who are concerned, rest assured: this isn’t yet a reality.

✅ Advantages of paying by smartphone

❌ Inconveniences of paying by smartphone

Payment by tokens

You can choose to pay with tokens. This payment method is ideal for businesses like bakeries. It works in the same way as a badge. You can obtain a token in exchange for a specific amount set by the seller.

✅ Advantages of paying with tokens

❌ Inconveniences of paying with tokens

💡 Installing a payment system (cash, card system ) is only necessary if:

Bonus: Payment by Bitcoin

🗼We have a more futuristic payment solution… with the advancements in blockchain, you could switch to cryptocurrencies! What if you offered your employees the option to pay for their coffee with Bitcoin?

However, there is still a long way to go before we can pay for our coffee with Bitcoin …😅 !  

And between you and me… The best and simplest payment system is offering free coffee to your employees!

How to choose the perfect commercial coffee machine: the complete guide

The difference between whole-bean, ground, and capsule coffee

Whole-bean coffee: our recommendation

At Pleyce; we recommend whole-bean coffee machines because:

  • Freshness guaranteed : Freshly ground at the moment of brewing, leaving no time for air to dull the aromas.
  • Economical : 0,08€ to 0,15€ per cup vs 0,35 to 0,50€ per capsule.
  • Sustainable : Whole-bean coffee is the most natural, eco-friendly way to enjoy your coffee with minimal processing.
  • Top quality : Balancing the roast and origins of the beans, it offers the best taste in every cup.
café en grain

Recommendation : Perfect for companies of 20 + employees looking for quality without breaking the bank.

Ground coffee : a temporary fix

café moulu

Professional drip coffee machines easily brew large quantities at a low cost, but:

  • Pre-ground coffee quickly loses its flavor
  • High waste (stale bags, coffee sitting in the pot since the morning).
  • Inconsistent quality depending on how long it’s been sitting

Recommandation : Only use when you need large quantities of coffee at once.

Capsules : practical, but expensive

With capsule coffee, you pay for the convenience:

Avantages :

  • Easy to use and a variety of flavours to choose from

Inconvenience :

  • Terrible for the environment (6 tonnes of waste per day with only 1 in 5 capsules being recycled)
  • High costs (4x to 6x more expensive than whole-bean coffee)
  • Lost in quality due to long shelf life
capsules café

Recommendation : only for companies with less than 10 employees.

What type of commercial coffee machine to choose ?

Commercial coffee machines for businesses

Automatic bean-to-cup coffee machines are designed to grind beans right before brewing, offering both convenience and freshness.

Photo ambiance machine à café Mettë.

Location ideas :

✅ Advantages :

  • Economical and ecological : Whole-bean coffee is the most economical. No single-use cups and repurposing of the coffee grounds (for example: heating pallets)
  • Easy-to-use : one touch = the perfect cup, with easy cleaning and maintenance.
  • Capacity and choice : up to 150 cups/day, and up to 16 different drink choices (cappuccino, hot chocolate, tea)
  • Multiple payment choices : cash, company badge, card payments
  • Maintenance included : service by our skilled technicians included in the contracts

❌ Inconveniences:

  • High initial investment (but a fast ROI)
  • Operational noises (due to grinder) – but that’s the sound of quality!

Our recommendation for automatic bean-to-cup coffee machines

Janne

80 cups/days, 24 drink choices, perfect for medium-sized companies

Taje

200 cups/day, double pour option, ideal for spaces of 50+ users

  • Total control : Precision settings to customize every cup
  • Energy saving : Up to 60% compared to other machines
  • Simple maintenance : Less complex than automatic coffee machine and more durable
  • Premium look : elevate your space and brand

❌ Inconveniences :

  • Training and practice required
  • Longer preparation times
  • Outcome of each cup varies based on user

Our recommendations for tradition espresso machines :

Appia Life

Up to 250 espressos/day for high-traffic areas

Linea Mini

Preparing coffee with a manual machine takes more time than with an automatic machines, making them best suited for small businesses with low to moderate consumption.

FAQ

How do I choose the right coffee machine for my office size?

 Calculate 1.5 coffees per employee per day, then add a 20% margin. For example, for 50 employees: 50 employees × 1.5 coffees/day × 1.2 (20% margin) = 90 cups/day minimum. 

What is the most cost-effective machine (TCO) and what budget should I plan for?

The most cost-effective solution long term is whole-bean coffee, with a cost per cup of 0.27€ to 0.32€ (3 to 4 times cheaper than capsules). The initial budget (purchase) ranges from 1,390€ to 6,000€ depending on the capacity of the models. For leasing, this ranges from 80€ to 200€ excl. VAT/month, generally including servicing and maintenance.

What is the cost difference between leasing vs. buying ?

Leasing your machines typically includes maintenance, repairs, and sometimes consumables, offering total peace of mind. Over 5 years, leasing costs 20-30% more but eliminates unforeseen expenses. At Pleyce, a purchase can be combined with a comprehensive service contract (maintenance, after-sales support, and coffee ground recycling).

Why choose a bean-to-cup coffee machine over capsules or filter coffee?

Whole-bean coffee is the premium recommendation for companies with 10+ employees, because it is:
Ecological: The grounds are recyclable (Pleyce transforms them into heating pallets).
Economical: The lowest cost per cup.
Qualitative: Freshly ground for maximum flavor.

How many types of drinks can an automatic coffee machine offer?

Basic machines offer 4-8 beverages, mid-range models provide 20-30, and high-end Pleyce machines (such as the Venti Taje) offer up to 100 different drink options.

Is maintenance necessary ?

Absolutely. Regular maintenance extends the machine’s lifespan by 5 to 10 years and is essential for maintaining the quality of the coffee. Contracts with Pleyce include comprehensive preventive maintenance.

How long do commercial coffee machine lasts?

With regular maintenance: 5-7 years for an automatic coffee machine, 6-8 years for a vending machine, and 10-20 years for a professional traditional espresso machine.

Can we use any brand of whole-bean coffee ?

Technically yes, but professional-grade coffee (with the right roast and guaranteed freshness) optimizes the flavor in the cup and protects the machine.

What is the average electrical consumption?

Between 1 and 2.5 kWh per day depending on the model. Most machines are equipped with high-performance eco modes.

Are smart coffee machines secure?

Smart coffee machines use secure protocols. Data is limited to beverage preferences and consumption statistics, with no sensitive personal information involved.

How to choose the right professional water dispenser

FAQ

Is drinking water mandatory in the workplace?

Yes. Under the Labour Code and the EGalim Law (2018), businesses are required to provide employees with fresh, safe drinking water. Since January 2022, establishments accommodating more than 300 people must install water dispensers to replace plastic bottles.

What are the benefits of a mains-connected water dispenser in the workplace?

Mains-connected water dispensers provide unlimited filtered water with no plastic bottles. They reduce carbon footprint by 72%, eliminate delivery costs, and ensure chlorine-free water thanks to our natural filtration system.

Buying or renting: which option should you choose?

Renting offers greater flexibility and includes all services, such as maintenance, after-sales support and filter replacement. Purchasing is better suited to businesses looking to invest for the long term. We advise you based on your budget and specific needs.

If you do not wish to provide coffee free of charge at all times, there are alternatives to a fully free or fully paid model.

The ideal solution is to choose a system that allows coffee to be free during certain periods and paid at others. You can, for example, install payment systems on coffee machines and hot beverage vending machines.

What maintenance is required for a water dispenser?

Our professional water dispenser models require minimal maintenance. We handle regular filter replacement and maintenance interventions. Daily cleaning is limited to a simple wipe of the external surfaces.

How long does the installation take?

The installation of a mains-fed water dispenser generally takes between 2 and 4 hours. Our technicians handle the connection to the water supply, commissioning, and on-site training for your teams.

What types of water are available?

Our professional water dispensers can offer up to four types of water: chilled (2–8°C), hot (for hot beverages), ambient (9–12°C), and sparkling (depending on the model).

What are the regulations for water dispensers in the workplace?

Regulations require companies to provide employees with access to potable drinking water. This includes the installation of water dispensers, which must be regularly maintained and inspected to ensure water quality. Companies must also ensure that these installations comply with current health and safety standards.
